Stomis' 94 Street Truck - Snail Trail

Overview Gallery Discussion
Man more and more I'm digging those valve covers. Interested to see how they would look after the wires are run. I wonder how stupid it would be to run a a little longer wires and kid of split two wires to back and two to the front so as not to cover up the VC. Kinda defeat the point of coil on plug I imagine.
 
Ordered lots of stuff with my paypal balance from selling **** :D

100mm SS hawks thirdgen MAF
Silicone and aluminum intake plumbing
IAT aluminum relocation bung and new IAT sensor
Last oddball fittings I needed to plumb the fuel rail, add a fuel pressure gauge to the passenger side front of the rail, and the adapter to get the stocker water temp sensor in the LS head.

Going to go grab/order a K&N right now. Hoping to have the truck plumbed this weekend, Driver side header on, intake done, and redo the trans crossmember.

Might want to trim that excess hose clamp band so it doesn't cut your belt...

You need to use a MAF sensor with a tuned factory ECM? Why can't they just tune that out? I'm assuming it has a MAP sensor and a wideband 02 right? It shouldn't really need both. I haven't tuned a stock PCM before, I am used to the aftermarket stuff with the big matrix charts running speed density or alphaN and eliminating the MAF.

Thats actually an optical illusion. That clamp is a mile from the belt, but I should trim it anyway.

As far as the MAF sensor goes, everything Ive read says the tune will be more accurate and better for on the street driving in between idle and full throttle with the MAF than with a pure speed density tune. I do not believe the stock LSX computer setup has a wideband feeding back to it either.

Im hoping about a month. My wiring harness has been out to the guy for almost a week and I havent heard anything so Im getting ready to give him a buzz. I do however think I need a different ECM to control the drive by cable IAC...

There is a easy way to tell if you need a different one. It's on lt1swap.com.

Yeah my problem is my ECU is at Voodoo lol. I dont have the numbers off of it.









Man Im already having bad thoughts of building a 418ci bottom end for this truck and it isnt even buttoned up yet. I was reading a cool build thread about a guy that did a 205cc headed 408 with really good results. Like 500rwhp and 550ftlbs of RWTQ. He said you hit the gas anytime and it just takes off like a raped ape. And runs 10.80s in a 3700lb camaro on street tires........
 
This put a smile on my face.





Just need to build a support bracket off the core support.

Im still shocked everytime I try my hand at finding something at the "speed shop" section of pep boys. They had half the intake stuff I ordered over the net. Actually wound up going there to try and find a 4" to 4" Silicone 90* as I goofed and ordered 3.5 to 4in thinking the TB was only 92mm, except the OD was still 4in... Obviously I got it lol.

This weekend Im planning on dropping the tank and putting the walbro pump in and plumbing the fuel. As you can see I already put the fuel rails on and made the crossover. Unfortunately the fast 92 hold down brackets that came with them wont work on the LSXRT 102 so Ive gotta make them. I bought a cheapy little 1-1/2in gauge to put on the fuel rail too. Also need to weld the drivers LCA mount I clearanced for the header and get the driver header on. Wires will also be here tomorrow. Really getting down to waiting for the harness...
 
Went crazy making brackets yesterday. Got the PCV catch can mounted, the rad overflow mounted, the proportioning valve mounted. Plumbed the PCV can nice and clean with hardlines on the fire wall. Threw my fuel rail gauge on and made a mount for the air cleaner assembly.








Its really coming down to the wire to the point where Im going to be waiting on my wiring harness...
 
nice work Vinnie....neat and clean look to it all.
 
Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Im glad I really took my time and detailed everything out and made things fit nice and work properly but not hacked together. For instance I was hell bent that I wouldn't have radiator hoses spliced together and things like that. I really took a step back from it at the end of the day on Saturday and said "man this is actually professional looking..."


Hopefully it will open some doors for me when I move to do some side work doing some custom stuff that will hopefully turn into a full time thing. Im damn proud to pop the hood and show off my clean swap. There isnt a single thing Im ashamed of how it was executed.
 
No one will ever expect that under the hood of that truck, that is for sure.
